Plattsburgh, which was upset Friday night by Curry College,
rebounded with the win Saturday evening to improve to 11-6-1
overall. Plymouth State drops to 7-5-1.

The hosts had a decisive advantage in shots on goal in the first
(17-3) and second (16-7) periods, but had to settle for 1-1 and 2-2
deadlocks during the two intermissions. Sophomore Trevor Mallon
scored the game-winner for the Cardinals at the 7:54 mark of the
third period, and C.J. Tozzo and Dave Friel added insurance goals
at 11:26 and 15:54, respectively, the latter on a power play.

Each team got on the board in the first minute of the game, with
senior Rory Nickerson (West Chatham, Mass.)
scoring for Plymouth State from classmates Dennis
Kane (Westford, Mass.) and Paul Feeney
(Lowell, Mass.) 35 seconds in, and Mike Thomson answering for
Plattsburgh State 20 seconds later. Thomson gave the Cardinals the
lead in the second period with his second of the contest, but Kane
evened the score at 2-2 with a power play goal from senior
Nick DeBaggis (Topsfield, Mass.) at the 10-minute
mark.

Plattsburgh ended up with a 47-19 advantage in shots on goal.
Chris Molinaro was credited with 17 saves in the win for the
Cardinals, while sophomore Karl Helgesson (Lerum,
Sweden) stopped 42 pucks in net for the Panthers.
